For those of you who are interested in Murcia, Alejandro Vera has
another article about him in the November issue of Early Music.
He has uncovered a lot of biographical information about Murcia -
which
is quite different from the accepted one.
In a nutshell - he was born in Madrid on 25th July 1673 and
baptised on
the 25th August in the parish church of St. Sebastian.
His parents were Juan de Murcia and Magdalena Hernandez.
He married a lady called Josefa Garcia in May 1695. He made a
Declaration of poverty on 2nd July 1729 - a sort of will
indicating
that he had nothing much to bequeath, but he didn't die until 25th
April 1739 in Madrid where he was buried free of charge in the
cemetery
adjoining the church of San Martin.
There is a lot more fascinating detail than that so anyone
interested
in him should definitely read the article.
